STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

The Rustenberg Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc is grown at some of the highest altitudes in the Stellenbosch region; just over 550m above sea level, right against the Simonsberg Mountain. The cooling effect of altitude and the oceanic breeze make this ideal place for a full flavoured, more tropical styled Sauvignon Blanc. Made with no oak the wines are aged on their lees to balance out the wines natural acidity.
